How to catch a mapping failure event

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is there a way to catch a mapping fauilure and take an appropriate action like sending a fault message to the sender system?

Does the fault message feature serve the same purpose? Will a fault message be always triggered if there's a mapping failure?

Thanks,

Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,

U can configure Alerts for this...

Have a look at this blog to configure Alerts

Hi Santhosh,

Thank you so much for your answer. I've assigned you points as well

Is it possible to write some custom code for managing this alert? An example:

When a mapping failure occurs, I would like to make a web service call to the sender system.

Ay thoughts?

Thanks,

Sandeep

For the requirement u have mentioned, a custom code is not required. U may go for BPM. There using the exception handling branch, u may trigger a call to webservice. This branch will be executed if an exception occurs in ur normal message flow.

Hi Prateek,

Thats exactly the problem we are facing. Our architecture does not have a BPM and its a huge effort now to re-engineer everything with a BPM. Are you aware of an alternate mechanism.

Hi,

You can explore the use of CCMS Alerts here. I am sure that there are options in it like Auto-reaction method, which are very much useful for error handling like your scenario. Also, Alerting using RWB will cause intensive use of system resources in XI. So CCMS alerts will be the way to go.

Please refer the following blog.
